Highlights

Tarangire National Park - In the morning you will start your safari with a drive to the Tarangire National Park. The park, roughly the size of Luxemburg, covers an area of approximately 2,600 km². The landscape of savannah, seasonal swamps and giant baobab trees is home to Masai giraffes, buffaloes, hartebeest, eland, fringe-eared oryx, the weird-looking long-necked gerenuk and over 550 species of birds. But it is the elephants, Tarangire is famous for and the park, where herds of up to 300 animals roam, is probably one of the best places in East Africa to see them and to get close to these giant creatures. After an extensive game drive, you will arrive at a Tarangire campsite , where you will spend the night in a tent.

Must do experience - I was quite worried about doing the tour as it was the first time I had travelled solo however, from the moment I was picked up by my driver Calvin I felt safe and secure and could not have been in better hands. In addition to this, Calvin was an incredibly great spotter and pointed out many animals that we would have otherwise missed. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and there were none that he could not name or provide information on. I highly recommend Serengeti Tours to anyone traveling either alone or as a couple

My honest review of a Safari trip with the Serengeti African Tours operator - In February 2024 together with my wife and my adult granddaughter we took a Safari trip to Tanzania National Parks. This trip was promised to my granddaughter long ago, but I had no time to fulfill my promise. I am very meticulous about details when I travel, thus I started to read internet to see what people write about their experience. Among others, I found a few good reviews of the company by the name Safari African Tours. In principle I do not fully trust many of the reviews published on Internet but decided to try. Now after the tour is over, I must say that not only all these excellent reviews of the Safari African Tours are true, but in my many years of business and personal travels I never experienced such a perfect service as provided by the Safari African Tours and personally by its owner and manager Mr. Lucas David! First of all, Lucas was always available to answer your question and to give some advice. Before the trip I called him through WhatsApp many times and e-mailed him multiple times to receive an answer within 24 hours. Lucas offered many options for the future travel both regarding the price and the schedule. Important, he was never pushy to choose a higher price but let you decide based on your budget. Since both me and my wife are not young, I chose a relatively expensive (at least for my wallet ) private travel for our group of three to visit four National parks including Serenegeti an Ngoro-Ngoro and having a day hiking trip to Kilimanjaro . Now I must say that our travel was worth of every dollar I spent on it. Importantly, Lucas was attentive and responsive not only before the start of the travel, but also after I paid for it on the first day of the travel. Moreover, after our travel was over, we decided spent an extra day in Moshi and Lucas provided us for this day a complimentary hiking to the Materuni waterfalls and visit to te coffee makers that was one of the jewels of the entire trip. Lucas solved immediately all the smallest problems during the tour that inevitably arise in a 11-day travel making your journey smooth and perfect. Also, it seems that Lucas managed to hire highly professional guides. Our main driver-guide Abu was more than excellent. He was knowledgeable on animals and on Tanzania in general. Although, according to him, he was on Safari more than a thousand times, he was as enthusiastic as us tracing various animals and driving us to where they can be spotted. As the result we have seen all the main animals. Thank you, Abu! Several other Lucas’ staff we met, in particular two drivers by the same name Kelvin were very friendly and helpful, especially one who accompanied us to the Materuni waterfalls! As a scientist who wrote hundreds of reviews of the works of my colleagues, I know that for fairness one must add a couple of critical notes to improve the future work. But in the case of Lucas’ the Safari African Tours I do not have any critical remarks. I wish he will remain to be perfect for the future travelers as he was for us.

Amazing six days in Tanzania! - Lucas and his team helped organise an amazing safari for me, and a great trip to the Materuni waterfalls and coffee tour on my final day, which was a great addition. They were always a great pleasure to deal with, and willing to help and answer any of my questions. They took a lot of stress out of the holiday, which left me able to enjoy all the amazing experiences offered in Tanzania. I would thoroughly recommend booking with Serengetii African Tours to anyone looking for a great safari experience.

Highly recommended - Accommodation was comfortable and clean and food was (not the best but) good. They provided bottled water the entire trip. Having a good guide really holds your entire experience and we were so happy to have Malisa as our guide. He was very very knowledgeable and professional. Lucas, our main contact thru WhatsApp, was also on point. Rough roads and dusty on the way to Serengiti, comes with the territory, but all so worth it. Its almost surreal to experience, I highly recommend it. I hope you get Malisa as your guide :)

Wonderful experience - The opportunity to experience and learn about such beautiful landscapes along with the bird and animal species supported was a true privilege for me. As a group we were very well supported by our Guide and Chef. Accommodation and meals were excellent.

Well organised and trustworthy! - We had a really nice safari! Because of low season we joined another couple with another couple. But everything was well organiszed! Lucas picked us up from the airport as agreed. Trustworthy organisation. Our guide Hachiem was good and knew a lot about all the places and animals. And was really concerned about our well being. Beautiful trip and would recommend it to everybody who loves to see wildlife!

Incredible, life changing experience - This tour was the most incredible experience of our lives. My father and I went during April 2023, which is during the "off season", but our entire experience was amazing. From the moment we landed in Tanzania, we had a driver waiting for us at the airport. The owner, Lucas, communicated with us frequently before and during the tour. He answered all of our hundreds of questions and provided us such peace of mind throughout the entire trip. Our driver and chef were amazing as well- we ate WELL, so bring your appetite. We had three hot meals a day- we saw other groups in some of the parks that were eating boxed lunches but we had incredible hot meals every day. To say that this company went the extra mile is an understatement. Our driver, Lewis, was incredibly skilled at spotting the animals- we saw all 5 of the big 5 animals and SO many more. We will recommend this tour to absolutely any one and hope to bring the rest of our family back soon.

Excellent safari! - The safari to Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater and Conservation Area was excellent. The guide, Lewis, was quite knowledgeable, the accommodation better than other camp sites, and the meals very delicious. It also helped that we saw all five of the Big 5! In addition, we saw baby elephants rolling about in the mud, a pack of spotted hyena dealing with a carcass, and a male and female lion attempting to mare. Lake Manyara was a little disappointing because the heavy rains had stirred up the mud in the water and discouraged the birds from feeding there. I also felt that the guide was not as informative as Lewis. The visit to Materuni Falls was good although very muddy because of the wet weather. The food was excellent and the coffee tour very lively and entertaining.

Private not always mean private.... - The tour was very good. We have seen a lot of animals. Great guide-Abu, and great cooker-Mattieu. The National Parks were amazing. The place to sleep-very well. Plan of this tour very well. But....I would like to write that in this company, if you take private tour...this not always mean this will be a private...and not more than 6 person could be...7. First day the company put to our car 2 another people. It was a private tour-we paid many us a private tour. Even if I try to explain that this is a tour only for me and 4 my friends, the man from company tell me that there is no word "private" in my documents. I was to nervous to could find the note (which was on my document from the company that this is a safari for group not bigger that 6 person...with to other person (Michał i Sandra) they joined to our group in the car there was 7 people and the guide. The couple which share with us our PRIVATE safari paid 500 dolar for this one day tour. I think this never should happen. If they asked I suppose we will agree for company other person, but the way they do this it was not nice. The woman from company told us sorry...but the firs day was awful. After the first day, for the next day we were only in 5 people )plus of course guide and cooker).
